In several campaign stops today, Obama mocked Joe the Plumber. Here's the video sliced in with actual quotes from the original exchange with Joe a few days ago. Spread it like wildfire.

It is spreading here in Japan RIGHT NOW! It is global. It is viral. It is in their faces. Joe-san the Plumber hit rates are getting higher and higher on Japanese blogs and news sites.

LOL!

I can’t believe how arrogant and stupid Obama is. What a complete fool. This could be like Dukakis in the tank. Thank God for Joe the Plumber.

Got a message for that grinning snob behind Obama...that’s right...the guy wearing the ‘yachting’ variant of a Red Sox cap. Here’s the message: RAYS 5, BOSTON 0.

No one disllikes the guy more than me. I've spent many hours in 100 plus degree days, with my kids in two, outside his office in protest.

I was pretty much cured of my political addiction and had not been paying much attention until Palin. Then I started learning about Obama and what he was all about.

Isn't much that will keep me from voting for McCain at this point.

I watched the video of Obama with Joe the Plumber, and Obama says to him "95% of SMALL BUSINESSES make less than $250K", which is completely stupid. A corner pizza store that makes less than $250K is out of business.

Is anyone allowed to ask Obama a tough question without being ripped apart by the Obama loving media?

Does one have to have a certain set of credentials to ask him a question? I thought that he was for the ‘little guy’. I guess not in practice.

Is this what we have in store for us during an Obama presidency? Only those who have attended the ivy league schools can participate in the government, to vote?

How ironic for a man whose base is mostly welfare sorts to require credentials before he is questioned.

Stuck at 203 views on YouTube. Looks like they have a bit of catching up to do.

Funny, I kept checking that too. Amazing that being stuck at 203 prevents this from getting listed as “popular’ or “most viewed”, or “most discussed”. But I’m sure this is just an innocent and unavoidable technical glitch. /s

Who profits from bogus videos?

That slogan would be racist because many of the things we flush are of a dark hue. Shame on you! (/sarc)

Just found this gem

http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/10/16/the-msm-loses-its-mind-over-undocumented-plumbers/

Across the blogosphere, we have news that Joe the Plumber, single father, American working guy, aspiring business owner, is about to be shut down and put out of work, to the great glee of Obama supporters.

I am angry. I know I ought not blog angry. I’m going to count to a hundred, listen to some Men without Hats, and finish writing this in a few….

I’m back. It’s amazing what a few minutes listening to Pop Goes the World can do for you. Here are the links: 1. HotAir reports that “Toledo Moves to Shut Down Joe the Plumber”. 2. NBC affiliate reports that even Joe’s boss is not licensed: “If the boss of a company has valid documentation employees are covered. However, NBC-24 learned neither Joe, nor his boss Al Newell, are authorized to do work in Lucas County.” 3. MSNBC repeats what I’ll shortly show you is incorrect, that boss Newell is not licensed: “And the county Wurzelbacher and Newell live in, Lucas County, requires plumbers to have licenses, but neither is licensed there, said Cheryl Schimming of Lucas County Building Regulations, which handles plumber licenses in parts of the county outside Toledo.”

And so on. Now let me tell you that many news outlets are getting the story right, that Joe’s boss, Mr. Newell (in business since 1974, God bless you sir, I’m sure you could never have imagined all this happening to you in America), is in fact licensed in Lucas County. How do I know? Because the State of Ohio’s computers told me so, and they would tell the media the same if they looked…like I did.

Mr. Newell is licensed. He is licensed in Lucas County. His license number starts with the digits 329 and then has two more digits. I don’t see any need to post more identifying information about innocent people. Search here, plug in the right paramaters, and you can download the list of all licensed plumbers in Lucas County, Ohio. It is not difficult, though you have to provide information about yourself as the requester of the information.

So I got this list of licensees.

Mr. Newell is on that list. And if I read the rules of apprenticeship correctly (I am not an Ohio attorney, and yes I could be reading it wrong), the reported date of November 2003 as the date of filing of Joe’s apprenticeship papers seems to be just fine. According to this,

“The Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (O.C.I.L.B.), Department of Commerce, Division of Industrial Compliance, issues state commercial licenses to the following contractors: electrical, HVAC, hydronics, plumbing, and refrigeration. To receive a state license, an applicant must meet the following requirements: 1) be at least 18 years of age; 2) be a United States citizen or a legal alien-must provide proof of being a legal alien; 3) either have been a tradesperson in the type of licensed trade for which the application is filed for not less than five years immediately prior to the date the application is filed, currently be a registered engineer in this state with three years of business experience in the construction industry in the trade for which the engineer is applying to take the examination, or have other experience acceptable to the appropriate section of the board; 4) not have been convicted of or plead guilty to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or of any felony; 5) pass the examination in the trade; 6) carry minimum $500,000 contractor liability coverage; 7) pay the applicable fees”

So here’s the point. Many news outlets have gotten it correct, but some have not and that needs to be corrected. Mr. Newell is licensed, and Joe the Plumber is just short of his five years before he can apply for licensure, but as supervised by Newell, he’s o.k.. You can look at screen captures of the entire list of Lucas County licensed plumbers here (part 1) and here (part 2). And as we read the news stories about local officials mobilizing to put Joe out of work, (quote: “A staff person with the Toledo Division of Building Inspection told On Call this afternoon that her division will contact Wurzelbacher to notify him that he can’t work without a license. “We’re trying to track him down,” she said”), consider the following:

Not one of the officers of Local 50 of the union shop of plumbers is on the list of licensees. Disclaimer: I don’t care that none of them are on the list, and I know that not necessarily every one of the union officers are plumbers at all, as they also represent other trades. That said, their spokesman is on record slamming Joe about licensure.

To their credit, an ACORN spokesman has weighed in that, “There is no such thing as an undocumented plumbing person.”

I made that last part up. Now I’m going to go watch some football.

Joe’s just one of those bitter clingers, you know.

In Obama’s eyes, Joe’s a mere plumber and not worth ever earning $250,000 so what gives HIM the right to question Obama’s “wealth redistribution” goals?

It boggles.

Has anyone made a YouTube video of Obama's faces made during McCain's responses? I was listening instead of actually watching, but I've heard a lot of people on Fox Online talk about it, scoldingly. Thanks and please FReepmail me with the YouTube URL. HO
